Piazza della Borsa

Historical photo of Piazza della Borsa in Trieste: a compact crowd invades the street leading to the square, between 19th-century buildings with porticoes and balconies. In the foreground the kiosk of Il Piccolo and a period tram, with some automobiles among the people. The crowded windows and flags suggest a demonstration or public event. The atmosphere of the first decades of the 20th century is evident in the clothing and means of transport.
